FALL OF WARSAW.
This capital has at length fallen. After
two days of sanguinary fighting the town sur
rendered by capitulation and tiie Russians
entered Fraga.
The Rowing communication is from the
Oii.cc of iiu* i/otuion Times, outlie I7tn :
“t icial intelligence was icceived at Ber
lin, on tijo 11 tli inst. of the capitulation of
the city of Warsaw, on the 7th, r.t six o’clock
1 • M, aft r twodays ol bloody fighting in the
neighborhood, during which the Russians car
ried by assault all the entrenchments which
had been raised to prelect the city*
“i he i’olish Army foflhwcd by the Diet
and tne members ot the Government, retired
through lYaga on the night of the 7th, and
early on the Bth, the Russian Army entered,
maintaining perfect Order—persons and pro
perty were respected.
“The Foies wer n retiring upon Modliu and
Flock, where it is supposed they would make
an effort to maintain themselves*”
Such is the substance cf the fatal intelli
gence. It is still said the Foies will maintain
the struggle. But the loss of theit capital is
I a fearful blow, and may, we fear prove fatal
‘ totbeir cause.
[lt will be perceived that the above is said
to be a “communication” from the London
Times, not an extract. The times receives
an express from Faris, every other day, and
the pres .option is, that on the 17lii their ex
press did not arrive until after their edition
was printed ; anti consequently, that they
in; ; civ announced the fact to the public, anil
forwarded the particulars to different parts of
tile United Kingdom. This is the more pro
bable as the “Sun” of the afternoon of tho
17tb, merely alludes to the fact without giv
the particulars, and states too, that Warsaw
fell on the 11th instead of the 7th. There is
nut the slightest reason to doubt Die authori
ty of this intelligence as it is expressly stated
tlift tie “official intelligence” was received
at Berlin, on the 14l!i #
From the Sun.
“A morning cotemporary mentions the ca
pitulation of Warsaw, as *, catastrophe that
took place on the 1 1 th, alter “two Jays.•.in
fighting in tire neighborhood, during winch
the Russians carried by assanulf ali the en-
L‘3lcntto!c -k had been raised to protoct
the city.” We have still our hopes that this
disastrous news is unfounded ; if, however,
it unluckily proves to be correct wc shall
tremble for the sensation it willcreate in the
Frcne.li eapit ’. The people there foci an
intei.se interest in the caivs-of the Foies, and
will not, wc apprehend, tamely brook the in
telligence of t'-; fall of Warsaw.

DISAPPOINTMENT.
Contrary to custom, and to our great disap
pointment, no Nilledgevilte papers arrived at the I
Pi>st Office in this place this morning. Onr ac
counts from the metropolis, are entirely by letters. l
From MiSleilseiiUe,
Extract of a Letter, dated
November 10, 1831.
“The elections for Judges, and will
take place to-morrow.”
“ The immediate occupation of the Cherokee
Lands, has already become an interesting subject
of the out-doors discussion. When it gets i to
the Ilous t you may look r one of the mot- ani
mated and spirited Debates in the annais of our
Legislature.
; “it is supposed that the 0 fid Mining Counties
will apply for several Bank Charter*;? I think
the Legislature would do -a*.’.! to grant them.
They vronld boa check upon the undue specula
tions of the Mine;
A CAUCUS.
There aro several of our politi-ol friends au
nouuoed as candidates for Congress, to fill the va
cancy of Mr. Lumpkin, occasioned by his eleva
tion to tho Executive chair. Should they deter
minate persist in the canvass,it might jeopardize
< ur party interests, (which are aynniuinous with
the rights of i; . state,) by tlm oleotiou of one cf
the opposition. To forestal a result so much to
be deprecated, wo cannot conceive of a plan that
would prove more effectual than that of n
Caucus Nomination,
as recommended by a writer in the Southern Re-)
corder. I.etthon a Caueur be hold immediately, I
and one of the moat prominent and talented mem-;
hors of Our political family be nominated, aw! re- i
commended to the free suffrage of the good people !
of Georgia. Such a eoursn would receive the]
approbation of our party; for we feel confident'
that there are but few belonging to it, but would
sooner renounce their pretensions tc popular favor
than hazard our safety, or weaken our inliuoaca,
by promoting conflicting claims unarm ;;©nrs*dvos.
Besides, the Caucus system would collect our
scattered forces, and consolidate them i. 'o ime
efficient bod}', every movement of which wouL
be a march to victory.
We well know the affected opposition ofctur
adversaries to this measure. They are aware, If
we pursue it, it will be the signal for the cott9cli
di’ion of car forces, and the consequent procla
mation of their overthrow, lienee their hypocri
tical crie3 of KING CAUCUS, and their weak j
and insidious appaais to the people, that it is a I
usurpati a of their right ofsuff.ago. How can I
it be a usurpation of their suffrage, wfien the j
candidate is publicly now - ated, and submitted !
to them for their approval or rejection 1 Does'
ki.s nomination impose upon the people an obliga
tion to veto for him, whether they will or not ?
Such a supposition is an insult, not only to their
good sense, but to the untrammelled exercise of
tlmir glorious franchise. It is saying to them, in
effect, “ Boast no longer of your patriotism. Von
think you am free—lint, believe it not, sirs. You
arc the vassals of the government under which
you live, and of the parly to which y< tare attach
ed. They compel you to obey it r, dictum. You
slavishly submit to it, and meanly and tamely,
sin nder to them, your dear bought privif- ges of
a free choice.” Would not this bo the language
of our adversaries, if honestly translated'?'’ Let!
the peojde maturely rodent upon it, and they will j
promptly answer, “Yes!” and soon convince;
their calumniators, that rlro*“ sceptre has and part
ed from iho house of Judea?”
In conclusion. We view Cations Nomhia
•iens (v.cmenn, when got up nod conducted “on
the high prineinlcs of honor, ) as n more proper,
honorable, and legitimate mode of bringing for
ward candidates for popular favor, than the one tt
sealiy resorted to, in which th y are impelled to

It -s weighty considerations like these, that in

Caucus Nominations—and we hope they may

dangerous “ combinations of small majorities.”

FcLi-oiv-crrizENs—Called by the voire of the
people of Georgia, to the first office within their
gift* 1 approach the responsibilities of il station,
with unaiir.cted humility and diffidence. Rat for
a f.rm reliance on that wisdom which ccmesfrom
above, and an unshaken confidence in the virtue
and intelligence of toy constituents, I should
i shrink from the magnitude of the arduous and
complicated duties cflhe office confided.
Tiie basis of my political creed is, confidence
in the unofficial, sovereign people. They are the
only legitimate source of all govern menial power,
and I believe them to be not only capable of self
government, but of wise Sclf-g. \ ernmon:. There
to' , fny only hopo of retaining their confidence,
wifi be in a faithful discharge of my public duty.
To the station I bring r.o spii ii of party animos
ity or political strife, i have no pledges to re
deem, nor vindictive feelings to gratify—i am now
the servant of all-
I avail my silt of this occasion to re-affirm what
I stated to the public in February last—that “it
is my roost ardent desire to see the whole peonle
of Georgia united on the great subjects of politi
cal interest and principle, which are inseparably
connected with liberty ami the perpetuation of our
Federal Union. “ 'l’ie J'edcral Union must ivpre
urved," and ii can only be done liy the General
and Huto Governments confining themselves
within their respective constitutional spheres.”
Pure patriotism demands of every public func
tionary, a voluntary eacri'hv iff ail political pre
judices, which r.ay stand opposed to the public
interest. Thus far I make a f.vi-will offer:** of
my own, on thu altar of the public good#; ' i
In the presence of that portion of my felUw-*
bitizens here assembled, an i in that of iFiv* o- I
now proceed to bind mys iiy the solemriiticof
he most sacred obligations, to. discharge, with
zeal and fidelity, the" duties of the high trust to
which I have been called.
